Glebe, St Scholastica's College

This magnificent heritage building is part of St Scholastica's College, located in the inner west suburb of Glebe. This historic house, known as Toxteth Park, was designed by John Verge and built in 1829 in the Victorian Italianate architectural style. The estate was purchased by the Catholic Church in 1901 to become a convent and school. The building is now used as the Good Samaritan Congregational Centre by the Sisters of the Good Samaritan.
